Travel light, leave the plastic behind
Travel is where good habits slip into single-use plastic. A little kit keeps them intact, and gets through security.
Travel is where good routines quietly default back to single-use plastic: mini bottles, wrapped everything, bottled water at every stop. A small, refillable kit keeps your habits intact on the road, and most of it sails through airport security without a second look.
Refillable toiletries
Refillable aluminium capsules let you decant your own products into leak-proof, TSA-friendly containers, and a solid shampoo bar is not a liquid at all, so it skips the carry-on limit and never leaks in your bag.
Rest and refill
A GOTS organic-cotton travel pillowcase cuts your exposure to synthetic hotel bedding, and pairing it with a reusable bottle, covered in our On the Go guide, keeps water plastic-free wherever you land.
Common questions
- Are solid toiletries allowed through airport security?
- Yes. Solid shampoo, conditioner and soap bars are not liquids, so they skip the carry-on liquids limit entirely, and they cannot leak in your luggage.
- How do I avoid bottled water while travelling?
- Carry an empty reusable bottle through security and fill it at fountains or cafés on the other side. A collapsible filter is useful where tap water quality is uncertain.
